Abstract
A method is disclosed for spin coating a stent. The method comprises applying a coating substance to the stent; rotating the stent about an axis of rotation, the axis of rotation being perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the stent; and rotating the stent about the longitudinal axis of the stent contemporaneously with rotating the stent about the axis of rotation. The axis of rotation can intersect a center of the mass of the stent.
